We are not as bad
as you might have read,
but some people seem
to want us dead;
others feel we are a threat
to their seaside snack
before it’s eat;
but we are not the foe;
no, not at all,
we just seek food
for it’s food we lack,
and we’ve become accustomed
to what you let fall;
and once we’ve snatched it…
do you really want it back?
